Looking for your next great read? I write romance that makes you laugh, cry, and believe in love—with characters who feel real and relationships that actually make sense.
I write contemporary romance novels about authentic people facing messy, beautiful choices. My stories explore fake dating, second chances, the pull between what you want and what everyone else needs, and finding love without losing yourself along the way.
My couples are adults in real relationships, and sometimes that means living together or sleeping together before marriage. It all happens behind closed doors.
The best love stories aren’t about perfect people—they’re about real ones choosing each other, even when it’s complicated.
Welcome! I’m glad you’re here. ❤️

Everyone in Copper Ridge can see it. Everyone except them. Nurse Amanda Brooks and paramedic Greg Marshall have been best friends for years, and they’re sticking to “just friends.” But when Sloane’s dad has a heart attack on a job site, the line between friendship and something more gets harder to hold.

I’ll update this space when I’m participating in group promotions or when there’s a particularly great event coming up that I think you’ll enjoy.

BookBub – Sign up for their free daily emails and tell them you love contemporary romance. You’ll get notifications about discounted and free romance books that match what you like. It’s how I’ve discovered some of my favorite authors.
Goodreads – The romance community here is incredible. You can search by specific tropes (fake dating, anyone?), read reviews from actual readers, and get recommendations based on books you’ve already loved.
StoryGraph – This one’s newer but really cool. You can filter by mood, pace, and specific romance elements. Want a slow-burn romance with lots of banter? They’ve got you covered.

There are tons of Facebook groups dedicated to romance recommendations (just search “romance book recommendations” and you’ll find active communities).
